Re: Huge Riot in Vancouver live footage!!!!!!

True story. We were up in Toronto several years ago and preparation for the opening of pre-season hockey for the Leafs was the lead story for the first 5-10 minutes of the news. The second story was about the overnight death (murder?) of a woman and her young child.

Re: Huge Riot in Vancouver live footage!!!!!!

I'm surprised; I thought is was an American phenomenon and that those folk were more appropriately mellow.

This happens pretty much every year in Canada. Montreal has riots pretty much every year.

As for soccer riots in other countries, they make this look like nothing. Americans are tame about sports compared to the rest of the world. It's no competition.

On an unrelated note, when the Blackhawks won the cup last year, the streets were un-friggin-real. Streets were blocked off, I saw public fornication on Clark and Diversey in the middle of the street, people running around naked high fiving cops on horses, etc. It was awesome. Happy rioting is always more fun than sad rioting.
